Thiy brought us everything wo w .-. nted—as fuel , watr , and provihions , < tc ., but would take nothing in return . Accompanying thu EntptTOlV reply was a bundle of worthless trinkets , as a present from his majesty to Com . Bidi le , which he refused to } i \

      accept . Tli ' ts puzzled the Japanese Ambassador , lie dared not return with his presents , so he loitered around the dick until nightfall , and thru throwing the hundle into the sliij / s bxat , darted off to the shore . C-vnmodor- -- Bid . tl- distributed the trinkets among the Ofnc-. r . i . We were not permuted to land , and the Jfandarians told us that if ive ntteaipted to latil by force , they would all commit suicide by ripping out their intestines , that beinu 'the custom of their country . Some ace « pteO . onr presents , but returned them all before wc lefr . They wou'd talw nothing fr » m us . Host of the officers att-1 people who came on board hrought their own proviriens wiih them . Some wanted to eletp on tonrd , but were not permitted . We could see none of thwr women , who are said to excel in beauty and virtue , ;» r , d rt-se : ; t indignities to their honour by committing

      suicide at once . Their men « ro exlrcm- Jy beautiful , and even at middle ajjo present the full development of athletic Jiowir , with the freshness and vigour of youth . They attain a great auc . Auunnl t- > od is not in general n « e . V / e coul-I obtain neither beef nor pork , but rcciive . J poultry , pamc , tg ^ s and vegetables in abundance . Their offi-ers dress in gowns , much like our female attire . Eael . had two swords , a small one an . l a large one , equal in temp-. r and finish to our best Ameri . can swords .

Each neatg on his bavkthe arinotial ias g :: iHif his ngiment , and in some instances a cross was work . nl in tlnir coat of arms , probably in eomittemoratton of the ma'saere of th

      diff . rent . In religious opinious tli- y are greatly divided . Tet the Budhitts , 'Jie followers of Siuto and the disciples of Confucius al ! agree in the followii-j ; , nhich constitute the moral phikisojdiy of the empire , viz : 1 . not to kill , not ti e .-itanycrea . 'ure that lias been killed ; 2 . not to commit fornication nor aSuitery ; 3 . not to steal ; 4 . not to lie ; ami 5 . to abstain from wine aud all intoxicating ' Irinks . They arc friendly aud polite in their intercourse with each other and with strangers . Eiucation is universal ; s < -minarUs of learning arc established in all the towns , and sack of the convents contain one thousand or more learned men , who a-lop * . the principles of celibacy and devote themselves to religion and education . They hare a fair knon-ledgo of our arts and seunce <; the . , have books and newspapers , and the art of { Tinting was known among them some hundred years

      before its invention in Europe . They write from right to hft and from left to right , in continuation . Tbeir notion of suicide is most extraordinary . It is considered meritorious to commit suiuiJe to avoid disgrace or serre the Cttbot / or the Dairo . In cases of earthquakes or storms , from which the Islands suffer every fe v mo iihs the authorities order numbers of the peopi - to commit suicide to appease the offended deity , and ths order is at once obeyed . These self-sacrifices are generally madeto the devil , or the spirit of evil , from fear of his power . Their worship of tbe Good Spirit is car . ried on by HacrificeS of fruits and sacred t fferings in the temples , before the idols . One of the idols ut the Wand

      ofiftaco , of which a Mandarin gave me some account , is eighty feet broad and seventy feet high , and is made of solid copper from the mines . Ecclesiastical affulrs "CiUpymuch time . Theclerpy are rich and well provided for . In brinsimjthe water to the ships , the natives u & cdpaUs and buckotg . In propelling the boats they u < ed sculls . Their Uvrge & t vmels were from fifty to seventy ton ; , having one mast and one sail . Taken altogether , the Japanese are a p . oio , simple , unostentatious people , and whether the other nations will suececd in opening intercourses with them , remains to be see * . A French fleet nag to visit Jcddo after u « , to be followed b y an English fleet , which latter will probabfy batter dorm their nails .

      E . M 1 GHA LION I ' U TEX vS . Wc have receive < l ,. tbrough Mr Stallwood . the following letter from the manager ef the "British ^ Mutual Emigration Association" : — 111 , Leadenball . street , 26 th March , I « ff . I am grieved to Ivarn that the Northern Star has designated my plan of Emigration a . swindle . I , as a thoroughpaced Democrat , der . y it . The people can go into-clubs * jrevcrytninjt , Uttl-. eTii now establish clubs for emigration , « nd not allow themselves to be chafnedtOithift land , the Union Bastilo on one side , the Prison on the otier . ' ¦ 5 _ et any man or editor who can comprehend my tplan , -read it and he will say it is the only one that is worth notice . Emigration it more talked of than understood , I advise ik > one to leave tlieircounlty , bad as it le , unless there is to

      ^ provision for them «? first crops . I have power of attornvy for givli > js » 40 acres free to emigrants . I have credentials and certificates of the respectability of the committee . On tho other side , the landowners are nil dasirous of giving 40 acres free . Western Texas is mote healthy than England , fit is a most unjustifiable attempt oe > the part of the government authorities to crush -the People's Association , ffoxas is destined to become the greatest cotton , sugar , tobacco and winegrowing country in the world , and I paint it out to my fellow-countrymen to go there aud participate in its riches . I distinctly assert that miy honest , sober , industrious rutin , hiwing theaG acres and the prcvUisu up to his first crop ,-can ,: in

      5 or # ycars , completely work out his own redemption , and he in a comparative ; -state of independence ; such is not - ibe case in the Btitish'CoiouleB . It is very stranjje that the authorities are . to . very sentitive of thepeopb ; , but itiis a gnat pity they did not consider my plsns before U \ e nttacli . Her Majesty ' s Consul , Kennedy . in his beak , declares Western Texas ( and all other writers and travellers ) to be most healthy . In his absence , his dcputyfivclares the reverse . ; If any unbiassed man wili pay me fe . vitiit , I will show him indubitable proofs of all the falsity of i's stated insalubrity , ke . It is the old game , Koiiarehies v Republic * , ; : b « t yet the majority Of j emigrants-will continue to go to the United Statu . It Bowed .

      Though this country , with its ¦ " Union Bastile on tlio one aide and the Prison oh the other , " is bad enough , it fa nevertheless possible to go further and fare worse . Tho natural capabilities of Texas concern ns not . The interior of Africa may be rich in natural productions , but this is but poor compen . 'afion for the barbarism of its people-ana thedeadly influence of its . dlim . ite upon Europeans . Now there are pond grounds for doubting the assertedcapabilities of t ' ie s ? ilof Texas : still more for believinir that the climate is most . unhealthy and fatal •*• Europeans ; and if tha Tesans are not chargeable wiih " barbar . ism , " no incnnsiderable number of them are notorious for ruffianiffla . It is proverbial that f-r a lonn time past Texas has been the moral sink ot the United States , and "Gone to Texas" has been meant

      to convey tho impression ih . tt the individual hac ibolted from his creditors , bnwie-knifed somebody , oi committed some otter crime which rendered his 80 . jotsrn amongst the eonsrenial spirits of Texas necessary . ItmaysHi ' t MrRowcd ' s purpose to impale base motives to the British government fortheinterfecenee of its asents in warning too credulous-cmi . crafts against risking alt for Texas , but we care nothins ; ab mt motives , the act itself has our hearty approvjtt , as tenditig to sav < e many From committing themselves to destruction . It ii all fudge to attempt to malie this a question of Monarchal ver jus llepulilicjn Governments . There at « us big scoundrels calling themselves " Republica « . * ' and "Gittzcn & " as any that glory in the " risht divine ; " and of such scoun ' reis it is notorious that Texas has rather more than an averaue share .

      We think , before Mr Rowed complained of our gentle censure , ho should have set himself and asso . elates right by provin ; ihe Lord Mayor wrong . It will hi remembered , that on a recent occasion the Lord Mayor said thatlie had felt bound , as chief magistrate of . London , upon such a representation as he had received , to make inquiries into the nature and character of the institution , and he must say that alt the information he received tended to make an unfavourable inipression upon his

      mind with respect to the association . He , therefore , would publicly declare , that in his opinion the association wa < oncinto which people should enter withgreat can tion . To this Mr Rovrvd ' s solicitor answered that—There were tmral most respectable references which were calculated to show that the institution was a bona fiile one , and that the committee of directors , who were ¦ o guarantee tbe protection of all emigrants sent to Texas , were of unquestionable integrity and honour . The Lord Mayor declared

      that—He could not sec tc ¦* torn the persons who might be induced to emigrate were to look for security . There was no name in the prospectus stall known to the mercantile community of London j aud to whom were individuals to look for the proper application of tha £ 2 , 500 to bo placed , as ibe proprietors stated , in tlieBaiik of England , and to forma ground for a losnof £ 25 to each emigrant ? The gentlemen alluded to as responsible were not tangible . They wtre beyond the jurisdiction of this country . Mr Rowed's s lieitor said-It was intended to appoint trustees for the afii quale scemity of the inttie . ts of the imigrantf . The Lord Mayor rejoined

      that—The appointment of trustees fr « un r . mongst substantial men well known in the metropolis would certainly confer upon the association features which it did not at all possess at present . That its cxi'ting pecuniary resources were not very flourishing or inviting was manifest from the fact , that the ptifon who printed tlie vury documents which di-tp » - '' --J uauntim » was notabttw get the amount of his bill . To conclude that an association in sucli a condition as to funds had the stamina which should recommend it to the public support , witli the view of carrying out a great public object , was absurd in the extreme .

      On a subsequent day Licutennnl L ? an , R . N ., the Government Emigration Agent for the port of London , waited upon the Lord Mayor , and handed to that magistrate the following circular : — CAUTION RESPECTING LMlCltATlON TO TEX . \ S Emigrants are warned that her Majesty ' s Viee-Consul , at Galveston , in a despatch dated the Gth of January last , states , that from the experience of a six years' residence in Texas , he does not hesitate to pronounce that certain statements whieh have recently appeared respectinu the salubrity of the climate , th « fertility of the soil , and the

      richness of the mineral productions of Texas , are greatly e * ag £ er : ited , and there is a m laneholy evidence of the fact , in the misery suffered by many of tho emigrants attached to the G , 1 'man Emigration Association , He furtiter expresses a eonriction , that if British subjects should be induced to emigrate to Texas they will pro . bably encounter sickness tHKl vUstitution . By order of her Majesty ' s Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners , S . W ^ tcorr , Secretary , Colonial Lansi and Emigration Office ,

      9 , Park-street , Westminster , March , 1817 . The Lord Major said-It was certainly most gratifying to him to receive a confirmation of his opinions , and of the intelligence which he had received , upon such an authority as that of the agent of colonial emigration for the port of London , lie saw soon enough that the ol'ject of the promoters of tbe association was to get possession ofu considerable sum of money . He qucstom-d a professional gentleman who attended upon the . -p- ' . rt of Mr flowed , the manag-. r , as to the security the emigrants would hare that any of the promises hold f > rth in the prospectus would be per . formed ; but all the information he could obtain was the nssmance of Mr . Rowed ' s respectability , and that he did not by any means consular adequate V > the occasion .

      Some two or three years airo we raised a hornet ' s nest about our ears by refusing to countenance the mad or wickert schemes ef litzler and hia associates and dupes . Sow tec the result . The emigrants to thatS ^ uth American paraubcVenezuelahave for the most part died like rotten sheep ; the remainder are living in misery in that land which was to bo to them an El Dorado . The large sums ol * money subscribed by tho Eiz ' critcs have been utterly wasted , and those who have merely lost their money hut saved themselves by staying at home may thank

      their good luck . Tho Venezuela jungle is now utterly exploded . Several of the disappointed members who have been so fortunate as not to have " gone out , " have joined tho Chartist Land Company , and wo are informed that bitter regrets are expressed by the wretcbtd survivors of the expedition , in their letters to their friends in this . country , that they ever left home , and that they did not invest their money in the Chartist Land Company , instead of listening to the delusive schemes of emigration agents .

      Mr Rowed has set forth that "the colonies of German emigrants in Texas are in a very flourishing condition ! " We take the following extract from a rec-jnt number of the Midgclourg Zettimg ;—The mania for emigration is again very great , and it is very evident that many more Germans will leave their native land this year than even in the preceding . It is heartily to be wished that they would take warning from e » per ence and at any rate not go to IVxas , from whence great i . UTihers of unfortunate dupes are constantly returning . They give a mournful account of the Germans who have emigrated thither . The wonderful natural productions and capabilities of Texas so glowingly described by Mr Rowed do not appear to great advantage in the following statement ( extracted from the Washington National Era ) from an American gentleman trading in Texas , and dated December , 1846 : —

      The oity of Galveston is now the most commercial point of Texas . It is rudely built « f wood , and so compact that a single fire might sweep the entire town . For this reason , it is difficult for tbe merchants to effect an insurance on their stores or goods ; such as do insure pay an enormous premium . I send attached my reports , from which you will see there is but little cupital in Texas , and merchants generally must be trusted with great caution . 1 do not think that tbe possession of large landed estates in Texas entitles a man to the reputation ol tt th , or should give him credit at tbe east . It is true th 19 ' , ia many parts , is fertile ; yet , if I owned 1 , 000 , 000 st-iv * of T / xas land , I could not raise 400 dols * upon it in 60 days' time . You merchants , therefor * , who sell Texas merchants on account of their property in (« nd , may expect to hare tbe latiefwjtiou of taking land

      for pay . In my opinion , T . x » s is very much overrated , and its future hirtory will disappoint many . Those , who have set it forth In so g lowing colour * . Utaveheen . witftottJ eeteption . pertont «»« w «« Mtreited as landhrdt , Texas cannot bea cotton-growing country . That it has much cotton soil , cannot be denied ; but the insect which destroys the cotton so abounds here that the crop must bs ii failure . In other states , there is sufficient coldst timesrto kill this insect which te-not true in Texas . There the rose and geranium grow like weeds , without sufficient frost to check their growth , during the winter season . In some parts , corn can be raised at a considerable extent ; but in others , it will -often fall on account of drought . I cannot see , from my-close obser-Tstions . how Texas can ever be n state of great commercial importance . I have been much disappointed .

      OPENING OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS , Eafter Monday hsviflg been fired for the opening of a portion of tbe Birkenhead Docks , the Birkenhead Park , and tho extension of the Chester Railway to the Docks , tvery preparation was nw' . e by tho directors of those several undertakings to give to the occa . sion all the attraction of a general holydny , the master-contractors , builders , and tradesmen , on the CtveeMrc side of the Mersey not only allowing every fad-Hty to their workmen to assist nt the celebration , but pivfngthe boon of a daj's pay to enable them to do to with unalloyed gratification . Exira trains from Manchester , Bolfen , and other districts , and steamers from the Liverpool shore , continued from aw early lionr to poor rast crowds of visitors into Birkenhead , till nearly 70 . 090 persons were collected alone , the banks and piers .

      The ceremony of opening tho docks and park was as . signed to Lord Morpeth , as Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests , to whom belongs part of tho Wal . lasey estate , A special train , with Lord Lincoln , Lord Monteagle , * nd other visitors , left Lfmntvn about six in tho morning , and arrived in Birkenhead nt twelve o ' clock . Shortly after that hour the Lords Commission , ers . with other distinguished guests , the B rl < enbead Dock Commissioners the Birkenhead Improvement Commissioners , the Directors of tho Birkenhead Dock ( Warehouses ) Company , the Directors of the Birkenhead , Liwicftthire . and Cheshire Junction Hallway , and the Directors of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway , em . barbed at Monk's Ferry on board the Lord Warden , a liandsomn new iron steamer . Six pieces of artillery

      were posted along the quajs ; and the steamer , which was beautifully decorated , started amid music , the roar of cannon , and the chesrs of the speclators . After steaming about a mile up the rircr , tho boat returned , and , simltnrly saluted in its progress , slowly entered the new docks , and miored nloimMe the south wall of the Bridgcend Dock ; after which the party repaired to the new warehouses to partake of a chyeititer , at which 800 ladies and gentlemen sfitdown . Four of the warehouse rooms , each MO feet long and SO feet wide , were beautifully and tasteful ' y fitted up for the festival « ith pink anii white drapery . The walls and roofs were lined with fluted drapery . The receptionroom « as adorned with a magnificent cascade , which poured out a crystal jet amidst a profusion of choice conservatory plants and flowers .

      Joseph Bailey , jun ., Esq ., M . P . occupied the chair ; John Land and ffm Potter , Esqs . the vice chairs . Lord Morpeth ')! health having b-en pr -posed by the chairman , his lordship in reply'' improved the occasion " as follows : —We bear sometimes of the old gala days of Venice , when the Do ;; e went forth in his gold- n galley to plight his faith to the wave which bithed his psluccs—( hear)—but n-c bare seen something this day beyond ev » n tha dreams of Venice . For instance , such an array of steamers as has to * d » y graced the Mersey , never could h-ive been witnessed in Venice ; and though perhaps a steamer , when viewed by itself , may r , ot hepo picturesque an object ns a gondola , I may yet remind you that even in the palmiest days of her pomps and her jirRosief , Venice never could have sent forth a message which in ten days might reach those harbours and roadsteads of tlie few

      The park was during thetlay th >! scene of great rejoicing and festivity , ani in the evening there was a gorgeous display of tire-works .

      Tms Rival PARisrtES .-At Taunton Assizes flics . Penall was indicted for killi g fl"d slaying William Holland , and Henry Brake , George Chart , and William Frampton were indicted for being present aidiag and nbettinu Thomas Penall in the said felony . The facts of this case were very simple . It appeared that ou Monday , September 7 th , a friendly society , called the Odcnmbe Club , met and dined tozether at a public hoits'i called the I ' ve Corner PnMic-house , There were also some men from an ndj lining parish , called West Cokor , drinking in the house , and at about ten o ' clock in the evening a quarrel arose between the men of the two parishe ° ; this came to blows , and a fight took place outside

      the hotipe . The witnesses for the prosecution swore that this fight was commenced by tho Odcombo men , while the defendants' witnesses swore that it was commenced by the Coker men . Tho Coker men . getting the worst of the fray , took to flight , pursued by tlie Odcombe men , and a runnine fight was kept up , stories being freely thrown by fenth parties , one of whieh was alleged to be thrown bv the prisoner Penal , unfortunately struck the head of the deceased and fractured his skull , of which injury he subsequently died . Mr Justice CrcsswcU having summed up . the jury found all tho prisoners Guilty . Mr Justice Cresswcll then sentenced the prisoners , who had been six months in gaol , to one month ' s imprisonment .

      Cbabob of MuBDuit . —At Monmouth Assizes , Hannah Thomas wa » indicted hV the wilful murder of JauiCH Thomas , her illegitimate child , at P « nty . pool , on t' -e 27 th February . The trial occupied ei « ht hours , and a number of witnesses were examined , but the following is a summary of the principal facts * . —It appeared that the prisoner was admitted into the Pontypo-. l Union workhouse , on the 3 rd December last , beina then in a state of pregnancy , and on the 16 th February she was confined of a male child , which was said to bo remarkably strong and healthy in appearance . A widow named Mary Miller , was also an inmate of the Union , with her two chi'dren , one being seven , and the other nine years of ago . These children had the ringworm , and their mother was in the habit of rubbing their heads with a lotion of diluted sulpliurieacid , which was kept in a bottle on a window in the women ' s ward kitchen , together with a cup into

      which it was poured when wanted , and a piece of rag with which it was applied . The prisoner had told another inmate of the house that the stuff was rank poison , and would even eat tho caps off the children's heads , so that it seemed she was aware of the deadly nature of the contents of the bottle . On the day before the child died the prisoner was observed by a girl named Jane Recce , and another person to do something with the cup and bottle , and then co away . She was .-isfced what she wanted there ! But she made no reply . Some time after Mrs Miller went to tho cup and found that a little of the lotion she had left in it had been in some way disposed of , as the cup was then quite dry . The child was taken ill the same thy , and a yellow foam issued from its mouth ; one of the lips was also observed to he sore . The prisoner said she did not know what was the matter , with tho child , hut she ( itoucht it had had a fit . When tlcrcea * kcd her what

      was the matter with the child , the replied " Oh . nothing , bntit will not long trouble any one ; I should be plad if it would die , for my mistress would be very glad to see me go home without the child . " A woman named Lewis asked her- bow the sore came on thechild'slip , arid she said it had been there for days . Lewis rejoined , "Why , it was not there this morning . " To this remmk Thomas made no reply . Margaret Thompson slept in the same r-onm with the prisoner , and in the evening she said / ' Margaret , my child is very ponrly . " Thompson said at b :: d time "If the child gets worse let me know . " A bout six o ' clock the next mornintr , the 27 th of February ,

      she said , " Margaret , I think the child is dead . " Thompson took it ' in her arms and found it was so . She told the prisoner , who cried very nine !) , and then went and called Mr Perkins , tbe master The clnlhes the child had worn appeared scorchrd in places and on being put in water dropped to pieces . The opinion of Mr Cossrns , the etirgeon , was , after examining the hody , that the child died from the effects of sulphuric acid , a spoonful of which would have been sufficient to have produced the appearances presented . His lordship summed up with great care , and the jury , svt ' iet about , six minutes' deliberation , earned a verdict of Not PuiJtv .

      Dn Crokin ' s Trial . —At the Central Criminal Court , Dennis Cronin surrendered to take his trial upon nn indictment charging him with the manslaughter of Sarah Ellen Collyer . The ir . dictmem alleged that before the commission of the felony the deceased was sick and distempered in her hotly , and that the defendant undertook to treat her in a medical capacity for such illne .-s , and in tho course of that treatment administered to her a certain noxious , dancerons , and destructive compound , composed of spirits of ammonia , prussio acid , and bitter almond water , and thereby caused her death . Very voluminous evidence was entered into , and the jury after a brief space of time returned a verdict of Nut Guilty .

      Cautio . v to Seuvaxts . —At the _ Middlesex Seasons , George Anderson , aired 22 , was indicted for stealing two coats , value £ i , the property of Gconre Marshall . Tha prisoner knocked a . the d « ov of the prosecutor ' s house , and when it was opened by the female servant he inquired for hf-r master . While tho fiirl went up stairs to inform her master , he ran ortw-th the coats , which were hanging in the hall . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The learned judge read the following curious epistle , which was handed to him by the uovcroor of the gaol in which the prisonei was confined . The latter had actually written the nolo , with a nail and his own blood , but it was in tcVee . ptcd before it reached the person for whom it

      was intended : — "My dear Carey—I ham sorrcy to scyou Cut up so mutch about me , but keep yoursprit * r . p—you talk to my witnesses und pet them t » not sware to me—tell th > m that I will give thorn £ o between them to get mo Acquitcd . Directly 1 get out I will give it them . I rote this with a nail and Blood . Tell ray witnesses to go nut of the Court when they hear my Name Called out and cum back in nh : > nt an bower it will be all riut . " The prisoner said that he pic-lied the note up in one of the celts . The learned judge said that as it , did not appear that , he had been previously convicted he would not be transported , lie was sentenced to iimivisonmeut with havu ' labour for six months in the House of Correction .

Fortwcnuicr and his wife kept a # nia'l public-house , which was nmcli Inqiiented by tlie lowest chtss of society , but th-.-y were ptnerally belieretl to he in possession of considerable s « ms of money . In the montli of D ^ cemhcr last the in-isoner passed some time at their house lie returned asniii on tho 2 S . h of that month , and asked for a bed , but Fottwcngler , apparently from some vugue presentiment , declined to give it him . Two hint-rent Italian orcan-grinders substqucntiy went to tile

      plscc to sleep . A tan cany hour tho next monilfii . ' they were aroused by hearing proansof agony ; nnd shortly after . 1 man cn'ered the room , and apeii' -d the window .

In the kitchen her husband was discovered with hi .- skull literally smashed ,

      and preventintr » hideous specfac / t ' , from the aui « l !; aiiwtion of his blood , brains , and hair . In another room the domestic , an aged innn , was found in a dying state , from several wounds , lie shortly after expired , hut not before lie had been able" to indicate t ! ie prisoner as the perpetrator of the crime . It apper . red , moreover , that the prisoner had barn seen prowling abmit the house at an early hour in the morning , and that he must have entered it immediately on the doors being opened . It was proved that the axe with which the crimes had evidently been committed had been stolen by tho prisoner tv <» m a person with whom he had worked . The woman eventual ! v recovered , and recognised the prisoner as the assassin . The jury declared h ' nn guilty , and the court immediately parsed sentence of death . During the trial he protested his innoceKco , and when asked if lie had anything to say against tho passing ot the sentence , exclaimed , " Have I merited death ? Must I , who have done nothing , suffer for another ?"

      Railway Accident . —An accident of rather a serious nature iias occurred ou tlie Ayrshire Railway , which , although disastrous enough , was fortunately not fatal in its results . Tho iron beam HU { ipotling a viaduct , near Kilwinning , partially gave way , it would appear , as a goods train was passing . The cmsequencc was , th-iS the engine , tender , aud one of the trucks , were thrown off the vails by the starting of the sleepers , the enuine and tender being pitched over the bank into the field . Tho e . nc , ineraan and stoker miraculously escaped without injury , but the two guard ? , we regret to learn , were seriously , although wc hop ? , not dangerously , injured . Tho viaduct was immediately put in repair , so that no further danger need be apprehended .

      Russian Policy . —Wo learn from Kcenigsberg ( Prussia ) that all the Russian students of that university , about 1 . 50 in number , have been ordered to return to their country immediately . It is said that the Emperor Nicholas intends to forbid all his subjects to receive their education in foreign umver sitifrs .

Mr Tnimhle ' s meaning from his speech , 'fu Drama was'frequently quoted as a source of plcas ,, ^ but ho was of opinion that the . vice , more than conn terhalanced the virtue ; he denied that any pcrrnju nent good was to be derived from dramatic pcrfor mances . Talk of pleasure , why , Dr Johns-n lias said ' there wasa pleasure in getting drunk , and that thn *

      was a greater amount of pleasure m a q ' -iar t than i » a pint . ( Lnuzhter . )—Mr StahWd , in following the two last speakers , said , he presumed tiu-y j | i admitted a First Cause , and that cau ? o wns gcnoriill » taken as the Divinity .-Taking this geiierall y-ailniitii basis , he should say all must proceed ' from tii . cause , and consequently all must partake of the di . vinity , and hence Mr Trimble ' s definition nuutba the correct one .

      nnd retain more associates , than all the asceticism in the world rould afford them . ( Cheers . )—Mr Ashe said a celebrated writer had s-iid that pleasure tneH' t the mass of absurdities and eccentricities of the human family ; for his part , he felt a pleasure in rpadins ; the Northern Star .

      fess the notions taught th » se chi'dren were of much . too bigoted a character . ( Hear hear . ) As to the Drama , divines frequently quoted Shakespeare , from the pulpit . Mr Ashe illustrated his arguments by quoting Cassio ' s speech on drunkenness , from the traeedy of Othello , and said he hailed with delight such meetings ns these , and contended that such pleasures wero well calculated fa advance the hap . pinrss of human kind .
